Danielle Herrington [1] is this year's Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue cover star [2], and it's easy to see why she was chosen for the coveted spot. The 24-year-old model, who is the third black woman to grace the SI swimwear edition cover [3], is drop-dead gorgeous, incredibly sweet, and humble at the same time. And, of course, she can rock a bikini like a freakin' pro, as she exhibited while sporting a barely there pink two-piece [4] on the highly anticipated magazine cover.
Naturally, as soon as Danielle was announced as this year's cover star, we immediately smashed that "follow" button on her Instagram [5] and started scrolling away. During our Danielle deep-dive, we discovered that she spends a lot of her time in bikinis — but not just any ol' basic bikinis. Danielle usually sticks to strappy string bikinis that show off her bangin' bod and killer abs.
Ahead, catch a glimpse of Danielle's IRL bikini style, and then be sure get to know a few fun facts about the stunning model [6].
